Total Wine & More San Jose (Stevens Creek)

Wow, first place review since COVID! I stopped here looking for BCS variants since they tend to accumulate at the big accounts now. I did find the caramela one, but that's it. Also a full set of Eclipses, and a decent number of Fremont BA beers. I would never buy an IPA here, but for durable goods they have great prices and decent selection. This is true of all Total Wines, but walking the aisles made me reminisce about my early days in craft beer. Tons of bottles and brands that I used to buy but haven't even seen in years. I can't remember how many times I said "I didn't know they still made that" As a Total Wine I would say this place is above average. Better than the one in Mountain View for sure.

It’s a Total Wine. Has many “local” beers I don’t see 90 miles away in Sacramento.

Total Wine is clearly the best place for rating beer in Silicon Valley. This store just opened outside Cupertino. Enormous selection with 100’s to 1000’s of different beers, most sold in single bottles around $2-3.
